Wow, I'm on Nine's side this time. Despite Melissa's plan sounding like a foolproof plan with no room for errors, I can still see things going wrong with this plan. For one, we need to remind ourselves that the setting of the story is one where magic is a thing. From that alone, Peacock is capable of doing something to the poison so that Melissa actually dies and with his wealth and connections nothing is out of reach. I think Melissa still sees everything from a reader's perspective, and that's why she can suggest such a plan because she's confident she won't die with the assumption that the world follows the original plot in its core (major red flag).
What Melissa told Nine is the equivalent of me telling my dad that he should travel back home because there's a vaccine for COVID already. Just because there's a vaccine doesn't mean you're immune.
